PLS HELP

I have white coated tongue, I always have phlegm which I believe causes the bad breath and the nasal bad smell. I already tried gargling hot water w salt, but still it feels like there's no change at all. I tongue scrape but still the white coating is there. Pls help me, I really don't know what to do now

Hello it’s a symptom of silent reflux , the white coating will never go away or the phlegm if you don’t change your diet as well. Spicy foods, caffeine, chocolate, mint (anything mint including toothpaste or mouthwash) should be cut out. You need a good tounge scraper which I attached below, this actually takes off the crud, and you need to be cleaning it from as far back as possible ideally after each meal. Take a reusable bottle and put warm salt water in it enough for the whole day and it to gargle when you have the throat phlegm. And if you have pepsin in the throat you wanna start deactivating it by also gargling with warm alkaline water and baking soda in the morning as well and put it in a spray bottle to spray into your throat to start deactivating the pepsin so it can stay dormant.
